1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

(1) Background: Older adults with chronic stroke may experience compromised upper airway functions due to stroke-related changes and aging. This study aimed to evaluate the functional capacity of the upper airway in older adults with chronic stroke. (2) Methods: A total of 44 patients (22 in each group) were included in the study. The respiratory assessment involved measuring forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second, maximum voluntary ventilation, and peak cough flow. The voice assessment recorded intensity, frequency, shimmer, and the harmonics-to-noise ratio during a monologue task. Additionally, the maximum phonation time of /a/ and /s/ was recorded. The swallowing assessment included the Eating Assessment Tool-10 and the Swallowing Quality of Life questionnaire. (3) Results: Significant differences were found in the experimental group compared to the control group in maximum voluntary ventilation (44.59 ± 15.61 vs. 58.50 ± 28.08,
